Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is based on a gradual progression of both the number and quality of techniques. This is accomplished by a belt system which is further subdivided by a stripe system. Combined they present the student with a systematic progression of short and long term goals, in which students can easily chart their own progress without simply moving forward at the whim and favor of the instructor.

A Black Belt is considered a master of the basics and it is at this level that a students most beneficial training begins Black Belts progress in degree’s from 1st to 9th degree with subdivisions of the first 4. No stripes are earned in between the Black Belts rank testings (students are responsible for establishing their own short term goals)

Students progress at Belt Testings by demonstrating an age and rank appropriate level of ability in three areas: Forms, Sparring (or One-Steps for beginner students), and Board Breaking (for advanced students)
